Fairies
The enchanting images in this address book spring from the unfettered imagination of Richard Doyle (1824 - 1883). Hailing
from London, Doyle in his childhood studied with his father, who
was also an artist, and received training in the shop of a wood engraver. Later, he enjoyed a successful career as an illustrator
at Punch, where he drew political caricatures and designed a cover that the magazine used for more than a century. He left that position in 1850 for the world of book illustration, a pursuit he had dabbled in while employed at Punch.
The talented artist had a penchant for the whimsical and contributed his visions to such works of fantasy as Grimm's The Fairy Ring and Ruskin's fairytale The King Of the Golden River, as well as creating more straightforward illustrations for books like Thackeray's The Newcomes. But In Fairyland, or Pictures from the Elf World (1870), originally accompanied by a poem from Irish poet William Allingham, shines as Doyle's crowing achievement. This incredibly popular work still retains its appeal today.
The 40 illustrations presented here are taken from In Fairyland, part of the collections of the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. Each image is accompanied by a quotation about fairies.

Norman
Rockwell
Few artists have captured the essence of everyday America
with the warmth, humor, and kindness that Norman Rockwell (1898-1978) brought to his illustrative work. A master of painterly technique, he turned a gentle but highly perceptive eye on the
details that made his subjects uniquely American. His genius for
the freeze-frame composition that tells a much larger story brought him enormous popularity and worldwide recognition. This address book draws on fifty years' worth of covers painted by Rockwell for the Saturday Evening Post to showcase forty of his very finest pieces.

Frank
Lloyd Wright
Forty full-color photographs of
buildings and interiors designed by eminent American architect Frank
Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) grace the pages of this address book.
Each of Wright's projects is a symphony of natural colors and materials,
wide open spaces, stylized designs, strong geometrics, built in
furniture and brilliant siting.
A perfect gift for all fans of Wright and architecture enthusiasts!

Gustav
Klimt
Austrian painter Gustav Klimt’s sensuous art, forty examples of which are reproduced in this elegant address book, is as alluring
and provocative to us today as it was to his contemporaries.
Heavily influenced by art nouveau and symbolism, Klimt developed his own personal style of painting incorporating luminous color and richly ornate patterning. His artistic achievement and role in the development of twentieth-century art make him a leading figure in
the history of modern art.We regret that this
item is temporarily
out-of-stock.

Illuminated
Manuscripts
Illuminated manuscripts are deeply satisfying in a number of respects. Of considerable beauty in themselves, they also reveal
how men and women once lived: what they wore, ate, wrote, read, and thought about---their worldview. From the glorification of God to cautions against sin to celebrations of the miraculous to astronomy, botany, and medicine; from advice on the care of dogs to lurid scenes of martyrdom to rude or romantic illustrated fiction, illuminated manuscripts speak to the medieval citizen's interests
and concerns.
